    Set the swaybar, phased the rotor, filled the transmission... still have to wire up the line lock, but that's it.

    What kind of spring pressure are you running open? Are those T&D or Jesel's?

    They're comp 948's... 340 pounds on the seat, somewhere in the 900's open.

    The rockers are T&D rockers.

    I had a bit of an oil leak from between the head and block it appeared...

    I should have the motor back together this weekend. I'll just be waiting on pushrods which will arrive early next week.

    We have had the same probelm on our outlaw motor a couple of times. Engine builder is telling us that when the valves get loose the pushrods basically start banging the rocker cup which pulls the threads out. So now after everypass we check the rockers. We weren't before because are other turbo motor never had this problem and we checked the valves once a race!!

    Do you think it's due to having a more extreme set of springs and cam?

    That's one of the things that's kept my shy of the solid roller setups...that and the fact that I don't want to have to run the rockers/valves all the time.
